Tips:

  • For crispy chicken, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken. The oil should be at least 350°F (175°C).
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. This will cause the chicken to steam and not fry properly.
  • Fry the chicken in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should be at least 165°F (74°C).
  • Make sure the ginger gravy is smooth before serving. If the gravy is too thick, add a little water or milk.
  • Serve the chicken with the ginger gravy, steamed rice, and a side of vegetables.

Conclusion:

Island Fry Chicken with Ginger Gravy is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the ginger gravy is flavorful and aromatic. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
